She picked up her scarf and walked out of the house. She decided she would just hide in the car and scare him. It will be fun... With that intention, she walked to the elevator, knowing it would take a few minutes for him to reach downstairs to the parking lot. Aarvi opened his car with the help of an extra key and hid in the back seat. Soon Anshuman reached his car and opened the door of it. He did not notice Aarvi’s presence there. Aarvi was about to scare him when his phone went off as he picked up the call.

So I put up with him. My best girlfriend is Jessica. Smartest woman I know and she's completely in love with the neanderthal that is Damion. Mrs. Parker, our home room teacher, gathers our attention by coughing super loudly and I go back to intertwining my fingers with Jaxs and attempting to study for just a few more minutes.
